Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the MGN2CM-AC240 is based on strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part MGN2C-AC240 qualifies as a direct equivalent because it maintains identical specifications across the following key parameters:

• Contact form: DPDT (2 Form C)
• Contact rating: 30 A
• Coil voltage: 240VAC
• Switching voltage: 600VAC, 28VDC - Max
• Mounting type: Chassis Mount
• Termination style: Screw Terminal
• Operating temperature range: -45°C ~ 80°C
• Coil current: 40 mA
• Coil resistance: 1.17 kOhms
• Operate and release times: 30 ms each
• Coil insulation: Class F
• Must operate voltage: 204 VAC

Both parts belong to the MGN series and share the same base product number (MGN2C), confirming functional and mechanical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both MGN2CM-AC240 and MGN2C-AC240 are active production parts from Omron Automation and Safety with full compliance certifications. The MGN2C-AC240 offers higher inventory availability (1128 units versus 733 units) and carries ROHS3 compliance status compared to the RoHS compliance of the primary part. Selection between these parts should be based on inventory availability and compliance requirements specific to the application. Both parts are suitable for direct substitution in 240VAC DPDT relay applications requiring 30A contact rating and chassis mount configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MGN2C-AC240 be used as a direct replacement for MGN2CM-AC240?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters including contact form, current rating, coil voltage, switching voltage, mounting type, and termination style. They belong to the same MGN series and share the same base product number.

Q: What is the difference between RoHS and ROHS3 compliance?

A: ROHS3 represents a more recent version of the RoHS directive with updated substance restrictions. The MGN2C-AC240 carries ROHS3 compliance, indicating compliance with the current regulatory standard.

Q: Are the operating characteristics identical between these two parts?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical coil current (40 mA), coil resistance (1.17 kOhms), operate time (30 ms), release time (30 ms), and must operate voltage (204 VAC).

Q: Does inventory status affect substitution eligibility?

A: No. Inventory status does not affect technical substitution eligibility. Both parts are active production items. The MGN2C-AC240 has higher current inventory (1128 units), which may influence sourcing decisions based on lead time requirements.

Q: Are both parts suitable for the same temperature range applications?

A: Yes. Both parts operate across the identical temperature range of -45°C to 80°C.
